Easy Dirt Cake Recipe
This classic dirt cake is a no bake dessert made with layers of OREO cookies, creamy pudding, and Cool Whip. Easy, fun, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 family size package OREO cookies
- ⅓ cup butter softened, I used salted
- 8 ounces cream cheese I use Philadelphia, see note 1
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 16 ounces Cool Whip thawed completely
- 2 boxes vanilla instant pudding 3.4 ounce size for each
- 3 cups milk cold
- gummy worms and frogs optional
Instructions
- Crush OREOs roughly in a food processor (be careful not to crush them too small) or in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin. Spread ⅔ of the crushed OREOs on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
- Beat the softened butter and softened cream cheese together in the bowl of stand mixer or with an electric mixer until perfectly smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Set to the side.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mix together vigorously for 2 minutes. Beat on low speed to combine with the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the Cool Whip with a spatula.
- Pour the mixture over the cookie crumbs and spread out evenly.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. Right before serving, remove from refrigerator and top with remaining crushed OREOs and gummy worms and frogs, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- I highly prefer to use Philadelphia brand cream cheese or other high end cream cheese. I've used all the different store brands hoping that they will work, but they are never as smooth.
- Feel free to make this your own! Use any decorations you'd like.
- For a less sweet version of this dessert, use 8 ounces thawed Cool Whip instead of 16.
